159mph Pc's acquittal overturned
Pc Milton was recorded doing 159mph in December 2003
A police constable who reached 159mph on a motorway has had his acquittal for speeding and dangerous driving overturned by the High Court.
Pc Mark Milton, 38, from Telford, Shropshire, was recorded by the patrol car's video camera on the M54 in 2003.
District Judge Bruce Morgan earlier cleared him after hearing he was "familiarising" himself with a new car.
On Wednesday, two High Court judges sent the case back to Ludlow Magistrates' Court to be heard again.
The judges ruled the district judge erred in law when acquitting the West Mercia officer of dangerous driving last May, after describing him as the "creme de la creme" of police drivers.
